To School Teacher: I think I
would mark my pupils on effort
and not on excellence, if the
board doesn't Interfere too
much.
If the pupil does the beat he
can, he does well, and should
have credit accordingly. 1 think
that is the way the Hecordlng
Ansel will mark us don't you?

pressing? Is he better than the man
of the last decade?"
He says this question Is of more
Importance to the race than that ma
terial resources are increasing the
dividends of capital. He is right when
he says it.
He says these questions are more
Important than all political issues
combined. He is right when he so
declares his high Ideal.
The same questions apply not only
to the south but to nil sections.
Development will come In Us nat
ural channels.
Opportunity will unfold its golden
promise in due season when nature
lias plained her riches.
Hut all these things are small com
pared to the question, "How Is the
man living? How is the standard of
manhood moving upward or down
ward?"
Are men living lives of honesty and
Integrity or are they leading lives of
duollcliv and faithlessness? Are the
individual standards going up or
down?
These are the burning questions,
They appeal to all thinking men. All
men of conscience and good morals
ask these oucstlons when they visit
any new section of the country.
To the winds with your vanishing
mills and mines.
What of the man and his con
science? The president's questions are rever
berated throughout the wide world:
"What of the man of the soil?"

INSTALL THE EXHIBIT.
NO republican governor of Oregon
Aas ever succeeded himself.
From February 14, 1859, the date
art which Oregon was admitted into
the Union, there have been 11 gover
nors of Oregon six democrats and
Bre republicans. The only ones who
Have been re-elected were J. F. Gro
wer, a democrat, and Sylvester Pen
aoyer, a democrat.
While Oregon has long been a re
publican state, the democrats have
lected over half her governors, be
sides holding the honor of having
lected two of their candidates for a
second term.
Only two Instances occur In the his
tory of the state where a republican
hits succeeded a republican. A. C.
Gibbs. a republican, was succeeded by
C L. Woods In 1S66. and William P.
lord was succeeded by T. T. Cleer In
11(99.
There have never been three re
ubllcan governors elected In succes
sion, while the democrats elected
Grover, Chadwick and Thayer Gro
wer succeeding himself, making four
terms held by the democrats In suc
cession. The election of George E. Ohumber
BUn In 1902, kept up the ancient tradi
tion of the state In not extending the
republican succession past two terms.
Lord and Gecr. republicans, were suc
ceeded by Chamberlain, a democrat.
According to the same ancient tra
Jltlon, Chamberlain should succeed
felmself, as only democrats are thus
honored, it seems, in that office.
Nothing will do the county more di
rect good in the way of advertising In
the east, than u permanent exhibit of
resources at the o. It. & X. depot.
People with money will come to
the west in greater numbers than ever
before, now that they have come to
the U-wls and Clark fair. F.ach one
is looking for the best possible loca
tion. The resources of Umatilla coun
ty cannot be surpassed. All that Is
lacking Is to place them before the
world.
The county court should be glad of
such an opportunity to advertise the
county. It is money well expended.
Pendleton business men and the Com
mercial association have long borne
nil such expenses while all the H-ople
have benefitted. Now let the county
Join the movement and assist In main
taining a permanent exhibit at the de
pot.
Il Is not to Portland's Interest to
have Vaquiua Hay Improved, or any-
other Pacific coast harbor built up In
opposition to Portland, so the people
of Coos, Tillamook and other coast
counties cannot hope for much help
from congressmen and seiintors whose
political strings are tied to Portland.
The Oregon Development league Is
making a strong pull for the develop
ment of Yaquina bay and other fine
harbors of tht Oregon coast, but it
seems like a woeiui waste m euuu
under the present conditions In state
politics. No one denies that the har
bors should be Improved. But will
Portland permit It?
WHERE CRIME BEGINS.
A 17-year-old boy who had worked
all summer In the harvest fields of
astern Washington came into Hat
ton a few weeks ago, on his way to
Portland to attend school for the win
ter.
He had saved his wages and had
ft with him. to help pay his board
and tuition.
At Hatton he was enticed into
Jive and made drunk, and while drunk
was robbed. When he? became sober
he tried to recover his money, but
was kicked out and sent nut of town
with the admonition not to return
aaln.
He was heartbroken, his ambition
to attend school was ruined and he
na -nonevlcss und alone In a worse
ondition than when he began work
In the spring.
On last Tuesday night he returned
to that Hatton dive and attempted to
hold it up In revenge, and was shot by
a bartender and Is now at the point of
death In a hospital.
Can civilized people anywhere look
spon the booster and the dive with
any degree of toleration, knowing
these things?
THE MAN OF THE SOIL.
"T care not so much for your mater
ial resources your Iron and coal
mines, your manufactories, your mills.
Tell me about the man of the south.
Tell me the spirit of the man of the
oil. That is the true Index to your
condition." !
Fuch is the Inquiry of President
Roosevelt in Alabama.
Siuch Is his standard of progress.
What of the man? To the winds
with mills, mines and factories. If
the man is all right the other things
will be all right,
In thlB Inquisitive and searching
frame of mind is Roosevelt making a
tour of the south. He asks every
where, "What of the man of the
south, white and black? , Is he pro-
More Pendleton men have made
good money from mining speculations
than have lost money through the
same channel. Yet the fellow who
"makes" puts his winnings down In his
pocket and says nothing while the fel
low who loses always tells about it.
It would be Interesting to know who
has made money In these Investments
here, in the past 10 years. Nearly
everybody already knows who have
lost.
If any thinking man needs a thrill
on Russian government, he should
read "The Night That Made Me a Rev
olutionist," by Ernest Poole, In No
vember Everybody's Magazine. It Is
a biography of a young Russian stu
dent and. is taken from the actual ex
perience of a family in Circassla, an
eastern province of Russia.
BENEFITS OF EQVAL SUFFRAGE.
The Portland Evening Telegram :f
October 12. says:
"In the extent, variety and general
excellence of its agricultural display at
the fair, Colorado easily leads all the
states partitlpating, with the excep
tion of Oregon. This was accomplish
ed by the Colorado state commission
despite the fact that the appropriation
available was small.
One of the claims of the advocate!
of woman suffrage has been that, in
asmuch as wom-h have all tholr lives,
been forced to grapple with the pron
lem of making a dollar go as far. a.)
possible, womnn suffrage would Intro
duce economy Into the administration
of public affairs, and that public offi
cials, responsible to women voters,
would have to give a good account of
themselves In the expenditure of pub
lic moneys.
Death Valley Is beginning to give
up Its dead again, says the Denver
Post.
Every summer it lies there under
smiting sun and beckons beckons to
men to enter and to die, and men
heed Us beckoning and go and never
come back again.
A few straggling searchers wander
listlessly out into the terrible heat
and find a stricken body or two, al
most always within crawling distance
of the water, for want of which they
died, but until the October sting is on
(he air even the men who live on the
desert's limits will not venture too
often Into Ihe place of death.
They are going now, and they are
finding the poor fellows who laughed
at their warnings and disappeared In
to the sinister purple of the distance
never to laugh again.
So far It Is est I ma led that at least
Till men have died there of thirst and
fear this summer.
Death Valley lies stretched like a
dying snake along the borders of Ne
vada and California.
It Is f. ll miles long. :! r. miles broad,
and It Is called Death Valley because
the first white people who ever went
in there were 30 when they entered
and 12 when they came out, and the
IS young, vigorous men died in a few
days, hideous, haggard wrecks of
what, they were.
Since that time the Valley of the
Dreadful Thirst, as the Indians named
it long ago, has counted Us victims as
a devotee counts his beads on a rosary
of coral and pearl.
"Peg 1eg" Smith found a ledge rot
ten with glinting gold there one fear
ful day. years ago. and when they
found him. running round and round
in the desert, waving his arms, try
log lo swim In the blue Witter he
thought he saw all around him, he
had his pockets full of the richest
quartz evei' seen in California, tht
land of rich quartz.
When he spoke the tongue of hu
man speech again, he tried to tell
where the ledge was, but nil he could
remember was miles of green and
purple and pink mountains crowding
in around him till he went mad from
fear and thirst and loneliness.
From I hat day to this men have
saddled burros and ridden out into
the glittering desert, mad with the
hunger of the gold they know Is hid
den there.
The big strikes In the Goldfield and
llullfrog districts, out there in the al
kail, and the wild gleam of shifting
sands, have lured fortune hunters as
moths are lured by the gleaming of
a lamp.
The little dried up villages on the
edges of the terrible waste have been
alive with tager-eyed men fitting out
to prospect, and this fall the old
prospectors, who know the moods and
tempers of the great land tiger thnt
crouches on the border of human life
there In the beating1 sunlight, are
finding their white bones bleaching
In the green and gleaming sand.
A well known judge from Wiscon
sin disappeared into the phantom
haunted place a few weeks ago.
"I'll be back In five days," he told
his friends, who watched him go; "and
I'll bring you some quartz from the
Peg Leg."
He did not come back, and his
friends fitted out an expedition and
started to look for him. They have
never been heard from.
The cold October nights have come
even to the desert now, and the
shadows of the early nightfall He on
the burning sands like a cool hand on
a fevered skin, and the searching
parties are starting out to look for
the bones of the men who have died
In the terrible desert since summer
has smitten it.
At least 1000 men have died there
of heat und thirst and terror since
It was named Death Valley. Yet never
a summer comes without its waiting
victims eager to try the fearful fight
for their life for the sake of a little
more gold to shake in the face of an
indifferent world.
PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT

Portland, Oregon
A policy-holders' company, GOVERNED BY

managed by Oregon BUSINESS MEN OF THE
VERY HIGHEST REPUTE ::

Never before has any life insurance company
started under such favorable auspices. The
doors will open with ONE MILLION DOL
LARS carefully selected business. PAID FOR.
IN CASH, and ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS guarantee fund, also PAID IN
CASH, To Further Strengthen the Company
During Its Early Years.
Guy Phelps, a young Centralla man,
had his leg crushed off In a logging
camp near Bucoda. He died of shock
and loss of blood before medical old
could be secured.
The New York Life started without u gunrantee fund and wiihout business.
The Mutual started without a guarantee fund and without business.
The Equitable started with a guarantee fund of $100,000 and $433,000 business.
The Northwestern started in a small village, Janesvllle, Wis., without a gunruntee fund and without bus
iness. In a recent address about the Northwestern, delivered by Vice-President Markhum, he says: "Start
ing with no capital, when the first death loss came there was no money to pay It, and members of the exec
utive committee Indorsed the company's noje to the bank, raised the money und paid the loss." SUCH A
DILEMMA CANNOT OVE.RTAKK THE OREGON LIFE INSl'R AXCK' COMPANY. IT STARTS WITH
ni'SINKSS AND AMPLE! CASH TO TAKE CAKE OF IT.
The above facts seem to bear out
this contention, and they do not con
stitute the only evidence of this char
acter which comes from Colorado.
In 11)02 the humane society of Col
orado, at an expenditure of $5000,
handled 1300 cases of children, nnd
C8.000 cases of animals, while, In tho
same year In New York city, It cost
$272,000 to handle 6a00 vases
children, 4000 of whom wcra simply
lost children, und 63,096 cases of an!
mals. Woman suffrage seems to be
economical as well as Just. Gail
